Civilians And War In Europe 16181815

"Civilians and War in Europe 1618--1815 is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary look at the role of civilians in early modern warfare, from the Thirty Years War to the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Drawing on works by scholars in art, literature, history, and political theory, the contributors to this volume explore the continuities and transformations in warfare over the course of two hundred years, examining topics central to civilian and war dynamics, including incarceration, cultures of plunder, billeting, and wartime atrocities, in addition to the larger legal practices and philosophical underpinnings of warfare and its aftermath. Showcasing the complex ways civilians were involved in war-not just as anguished sufferers, but as individuals who fought back, who profited, and who negotiated for their own needs- Civilians and War in Europe probes what it meant to be a civilian in countries deeply involved in conflict." --Publisher.
